Hydrogen phosphate or monohydrogen phosphate (systematic name) is the inorganic ion with the formula [HPO 4] 2-. Its formula can also be written as [PO 3 (OH)] 2-. Together with dihydrogen phosphate, hydrogenphosphate occurs widely in natural systems. Their salts are used in fertilizers and in cooking. [1]
Aluminium dihydrogenphosphate describes inorganic compounds with the formula Al(H 2 PO 4) 3. xH 2 O where x = 0 or 3. They are white solids. Upon heating these materials convert sequentially to a family of related polyphosphate salts including aluminium triphosphate (AlH 2 P 3 O 10. 2H 2 O), aluminium hexametaphosphate (Al 2 P 6 O 18), and aluminium tetrametaphosphate (Al 4 (P 4 O 12) 3).
The general formula of a phosphoric acid is H n−2x+2 P n O 3n−x+1, where n is the number of phosphorus atoms and x is the number of fundamental cycles in the molecule's structure; that is, the minimum number of bonds that would have to be broken to eliminate all cycles.
Aluminium phosphate is a chemical compound. In nature it occurs as the mineral berlinite. [3] Many synthetic forms of aluminium phosphate are known. They have framework structures similar to zeolites and some are used as catalysts, ion-exchangers or molecular sieves. [4] Commercial aluminium phosphate gel is available.
In chemistry, a phosphate is an anion, salt, functional group or ester derived from a phosphoric acid. It most commonly means orthophosphate, a derivative of orthophosphoric acid, a.k.a. phosphoric acid H 3 PO 4. The phosphate or orthophosphate ion [PO 4] 3− is derived from phosphoric acid by the removal of three protons H +.
Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP), also known as monoammonium phosphate (MAP) [5] is a chemical compound with the chemical formula (NH 4)(H 2 PO 4). ADP is a major ingredient of agricultural fertilizers [6] and dry chemical fire extinguishers. It also has significant uses in optics [7] and electronics. [8]
There are also organophosphorus compounds with the formula OP(OR) 3. ... Aluminium phosphate; ... Monohydrogen phosphate;
Dipotassium phosphate (K 2 HPO 4) (also dipotassium hydrogen orthophosphate; potassium phosphate dibasic) is the inorganic compound with the formula K 2 HPO 4. (H 2 O) x (x = 0, 3, 6). Together with monopotassium phosphate (KH 2 PO 4. (H 2 O) x), it is often used as a fertilizer, food additive, and buffering agent. [1]
